HOLY SATURDAY PRAYER STATIONS:
Join us on Holy Saturday (April 19) between 1 PM and 3 PM as our 2023 Confirmation Class guides us through prayer stations at Faith United Methodist Church (15101 S 80th Ave, Orland Park). During this drop-in event we are invited to walk through the Fellowship Hall, stopping at each station where a confirmand will guide us through a style of prayer that they have chosen for their station. This space allows for us to reflect on Jesus’ sacrifice for us as we await the celebration of his resurrection while being led by our confirmation students.
